    If you are visiting Belize, hire Jimmy to be your guide. He is a wealth of knowledge about the culture and history of Belize and his passion for his country shines through. Jimmy is also very patient and kind. We traveled to Belize with our 16m old son, and Jimmy offered to watch him while we partook in an activity along the tour. Jimmy is always prompt, brings high energy and a personalized touch to all of his tours. If you want first class service and a bespoke tour experience, hire Untame Belize.

    Hugh was our tour guide and his expertise was unmatched. We were one of the first to get there and did a private tour so it was just my husband and I, and Hugh. You are literally crossing rivers, swimming into a cave and hiking and climbing over rocks. This is not for the faint of heart. If you are claustrophobic, this is not for you. You definitely have to contort your body to get through som of these rock formations and have to lift yourself through some of these crevasses. Wear aqua shoes and socks. There are sharp rocks and a part of the tour where you take off your shoes and go through the ancient chamber, we did not wear socks and should have. The crystal stalactites and stalacmetes were like Baccarat chandeliers. They were so gorgeous! You can’t take any kind of equipment in to the caves like a GoPro or camera so you will have to burn them into your memory. If you have a good tour guide like Hugh, he will send you pictures later but it just doesn’t do it justice. This is something we will never forget and are forever grateful! Must do in Belize! It’s an all day event but worth it!

    Not for the physically weak. It’s a very strenuous activity but was also the highlight of our trip. There is swimming, rock climbing and walking.
